Loading ...Tiyani Behanzin – for hosting arguably a successful Peace Conference in Wesley in which rivals in the village pledged to keep the peace and with one person announcing that he will abandon criminal acts and reform his life. The organisers plan to bring the Peace Conference to other communities.
Danielle Williams – the ex-porn star from the US for coming to Dominica and spreading the gospel, relating her story as an ex-porn star via the local media, providing counselling and assisting sexually and physically abused youth.As a result of her visit, more at-risk youth are opening up about their situation, criminal investigations are underway and discussions continue on the revelations that were revealed.
Rhoda St. John – the Regional Executive Director of Generation of Opportunities who facilitated the visit of Danielle Williams and worked along side her to reach out to at-risk youth. She continues to work with local authorities though Williams has already left.
Edison James – the former prime minister’s announcement at a United Workers Party (UWP) public meeting in Lagoon on January 17 that he uncovered a plot to assassinate him created not only made big news, but several developments in which Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit offered him security which James refused and government ministers bashing the UWP president for trying to make an impression.
Kidron Alexander – the 21-one-year-old of Paix Bouche/Dos Dan was inaugurated as the country’s youngest village council chairman. Alexander said he has big plans for his community and top on his list is to tackle the issue of unemployment among the youth. Alexander is also an active member of community organisations.
Wow! Great thinknig! JK
Behanzin all the way
KIDRON ALEXANDER for sure!!!!!!!
What is so difficult – vote for one of the five nominees.
If your person of choice is not listed and you dont agree with the five nominees, then refrain from voting.
Why make a drama out of everything.
Anyway, it looks like there is a clear well deserving winner.
My name missing……………
trevor johnson
tiyani for sure
Dominicans must learn to read thoroughly. The article is clear regarding the personalities that had an impact, sparked debates or rather controversial in nature. This article reflects those who were influential in January 2010. I do not see why people fail to read thoroughly or it seems that amongst our Dominican populace their comprehension skills are very poor.
you need to read thoroughly because you still in 2010 when every one else is in 2011
I just find that we insist on choosing persons who are “quote and quote” big boys and girls in society. there are little people out there who are making a difference expecting nothing in return. Putting a list of names does not make sense, allow the people of the communities to decide because we are the ones that are being impacted. What have Ms. Williams done for the people of Dominica…please……a farmer a teacher a mother could be the choosen one……so am not voting
and I quote:
After each month, DNO will give the public the chance to vote for persons who have MADE A POSITIVE IMPACT or whose ACTIONS HAVE TRIGGERED NATIONAL DEBATE, issues, prompted officials to action and/or have SPARKED A MEDIA FRENZY.”
Some people on DNO also quick to comment and never quick to take the time to read and comprehend what is written!!
i don’t think u bloggers get what this is all about,,, in d.ca we like to hide n act like all is rosy,,,, u all trying to tell me so far that tiyani caused more movements than edison uproar lol,,,,, man if that was mtv edison would make the week’s number one highlight,,,, i see tiyani have 100 plus votes goin n i said d/cans don’t get it yet,,,,skerro have been quiet so long n it took eddo to get him to speak on sumthing,,,, blackmore and the one for roseau south came out of their rat hole,,,,, cmon lets be realistic,,,, eddo news had more posts combined with tiyani’s,,,, after tiyani did wat he did which was good,,,,he recieved no roses from those in office,,the parl rep for wesley did not even attended or acknowledged his whole-hearted effort,,,, so apart from us being grateful for his works he had no movement in the arena,,,, but eddo had all labour acolytes running for artillery to wage war,,,,cmon
Man you not easy, you want to tell people who to vote for, even though Eddo made world news about what he did and we find that Tiyani is worthy, he get the votes, regardless who recognize his achivements or not.
MOTS
You have a good, good, point here!
I have a problem with Rhoda St. John and that rubbish survey circulated to students, regardless of the intention. Btw, I want to know more about this generation of opportunities.
I am voting for Ashton but seeing that his name is not there I would vote for the 21 years old
DNO you appear to be going down the road that most of your loggers take. If you are putting up a list of men/women to be personality of the month in my opinion you should put in people who have positively influenced the citizen of the country. We should not just do things to creat controversy thereby increasing patrons but looking mediocre to our competitors in the region. How did Eddison James’ situation influence us?

PLEASE RE-READ: After each month, DNO will give the public the chance to vote for persons who have made a positive impact or whose actions have triggered national debate, issues, prompted officials to action and/or have sparked a media frenzy.
Why did Time magazine chose Osama Bin Laden as a figure of the year? It’s about IMPACT! And the disclaimer above clearly stated so.
ADMIN
Thank you for taking the time and patience to explain. Sometimes we do forget to read properly, and to pick up the basic theme. We really need to remember, that is important. But I cannot decide whom I should vote for; maybe I won’t vote.
Vote Gabriel Christian
Are all these titles necessary??? What’s your point???
why isn’t ashton rivere int he mix? rubbish
ADMIN
Ashton Riviere published his articles in February, not January! The individuals in the January poll had an effect in January. If you still do not understand I can borrow you my calendar.
I think people do not take time to read and understand. They only understand what they want to read.
DNO keep on the good works. and your response is so appropriate!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can lend you my calendar too, but I’m not sure if you want to borrow mine.
KIDRON ALL THE WAY
Edison James….come on Bro
